Project 'GODESS' Gets EU Funding
Official Press Release Akselos:
EU backs Offshore Wind Innovation Project to slash materials cost by up to 25%
The European Union is the latest backer of Akselos’ cutting edge technology, with the award of a €1.4 million research grant to the tech pioneer and engineering partner, LICengineering, to optimize the design of offshore wind turbines.
GODESS (Global Optimal DEsign of Support Structures) is a breakthrough project that aims to maximize efficiency in the design process, with a view to ultimately lowering costs to the consumer – often cited as the main barrier to uptake of wind power. Based on estimates from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, the innovation, which GODESS aims to deliver could reduce the cost of materials for substructures by up to 25%. The initiative will allow data collected by... ... More: Official Press Release Akselos
